@zarahsultana It's a shame that the bill was tabled at this time if many deem it not thorough enough. Will there be another opportunity to table this again? What's being done to improve palliative care and safeguarding in the meantime?
@AvantiWestCoast Thanks Kim. Follow up question; Monday evening the train I managed to catch ended up changing to a non-stop service so dropped people off at Rugby. What's the procedure to determine if that happens?
@AvantiWestCoast evening! Do we know why the 1910 Euston to Wolverhampton is delayed? Looks like the train is sat on platform 3? Just delayed currently.. no announcement or details.
We released gta San Andreas 20 years ago. October 26, 2004.
Game releases were different back then.
It took 6 weeks for the DVDs to be produced, boxed and distributed. Patches over the internet were not yet a thing.
For us, all of the stress had happened at the cut-off point, 6 weeks prior. No big issues had come up.
Most devs had taken a holiday and we were already thinking about our next project.
Digital distribution didnβt exist yet. Games were typically released on a Tuesday/Wednesday in the US and Fridays in the UK. Same for SA.
The internet was crap and apart from a couple of trailers, gamers didnβt know too much about the game.
For big games, stores would open at Midnight before release day so that pre-orders could be picked up.
I only later found out, the publisher has to pay the stores to make these late openings happen.
I went to the biggest store near the R*North offices, which was HMV on Princess Street, Edinburgh. Even though it was a drizzly night, the line meandered all through the store and spilled out onto the street.
It was mind-blowing to see all those people so excited, going home to play the game all through the night.
@WooonderSoup@BadWorldmusic Mine arrived with the vinyl and inserts separate from the sleeve. Much better experience than the previous blood records vinyl I received which had a damaged sleeve from bad shipping. π€ They're improving...
@AvantiWestCoast, I purchased a weekly season ticket that should've loaded onto my smartcard, but the smartcard isn't working at the barriers. Is there any way I can reload it?
